Down the road, Universal's Rock the Universe celebrates its 15th year. I find some irony that Universal's festival of faith comes just days before the first Halloween Horror Nights, and no doubt construction for the mazes and scare zones will be going on as the Christian bands play.
Like Disney, Rock the Universe is on September 6th & 7th. Its party runs from 4pm to 1am.
This year, they are promising " a moving candlelighting service on Saturday led by Casting Crowns and featuring some of the bands from Saturday night performing on stage TOGETHER!"
Here is the full lineup:
Friday September 6 4PM-1AM
Switchfoot
Chris Tomlin
Crowder
Tenth Avenue North
Family Force 5
Colton Dixon
Kyle Sherman
Saturday September 7 4PM-1AM
Casting Crowns
Jesus Culture
Lecrae
Relient K
Red
